Breast

Augmentation

Small breasts can be the result of a number of factors. Genetics, pregnancy, or weight loss can all rob you of attractive, full breast volume that enhances your appearance and helps create feminine curves. Breasts that are too small may lack an appealing shape or eye-catching definition. Breast augmentation utilizes implants to increase the size and improve the shape of your breasts for a fuller, more attractive bustline.

What do you desire?

Choosing a properly sized implant can help you add volume to the breasts and create a balanced body appearance. For many women, fuller breasts allow them to feel sexier and more attractive. Larger breasts allow women to feel comfortable in a wider variety of clothing, including dresses and bathing suits.

For some women, their small breasts lack definition and shape. In some cases, the breasts may appear pointed and cause women to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Choosing an implant shape and projection that best suits your body can dramatically improve the shape of your breasts, helping you feel more confident in the appearance of your breasts.

When women increase the size of their breasts, they often also want to enhance their cleavage. Having more defined, attractive cleavage can improve the appearance of your clothing and provide better breast definition. Implant projection and insertion techniques can be used to create better cleavage, and your surgeon can help determine the best options to achieve the amount of cleavage you desire.

Creating larger breasts can also help create more pronounced curves. These curves can make your body feel more soft and feminine. Voluptuous curves can improve the appearance of clothing and make you feel sexier. For some women, creating curves also helps bring balance and better proportions to their body’s frame.

The greatest benefit of breast augmentation is the boost in confidence many women experience after they enhance their breasts. Having a more balanced appearance can help you feel more confident and attractive in your body. When you feel positive about your appearance, you feel better about yourself. It has been shown that increased confidence impacts other areas of your life, leaving you feeling more satisfied and content.

Breast Augmentation concerns

Your breasts may feel bruised and swollen following your surgery. Breast soreness and tightness is common and may last several days. You will rest for three to four days in an upright position following your surgery.

Most patients can return to work within three to five days following their surgery. You may wear a special support bra to facilitate healing and provide better results. Patients can resume their regular exercise routine after four weeks with surgeon’s permission. Your implants will sit high on your chest wall immediately after surgery and can settle and drop for up to 6 months following your surgery. Most major swelling should have subsided after six weeks, at which time your final results should be visible. Minor swelling may last up to six months and can slightly affect the appearance of your breasts.

Dr. Wilson always takes great care to place your incisions in discreet locations. Some patients are more genetically prone to scarring than others. Patients who develop visible scarring will likely see an improvement in their scars over time. Most scarring eventually fades.

You may feel a tight, new pressure on your chest from the additional weight of your implants. This discomfort can last for several days. During this time, oral medication can be taken to control any pain you may experience.

Breast augmentation is a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. As with any surgery, you should follow your after-care instructions carefully to avoid infection.

Frequently asked questions

Each woman’s body is built differently, and what looks attractive on one woman may not always translate the same to another. Dr. Wilson strives to tailor each breast augmentation to suit the aesthetic needs and goals of each patient.

Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding should not undergo breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation should not impact your ability to nurse in the future. However, you should remember that pregnancy and nursing can alter the results of your breast augmentation.

Placing the implants over the pectoral muscle may provide some correction to breasts with mild sagging. However, women with moderate to severe breast drooping should consider combining a breast lift with their augmentation. Breast lift surgery tightens and restores firmness to the breast tissue, which can help prevent future complications such as double-bubble deformity and bottoming out.

With a trained and experienced mammographer, breast implants won’t interfere with the quality of your mammograms. Also, multiple studies show that breast implants don’t increase your risk of developing breast cancer, nor do they prevent early detection. If you are over the age of 40, you should receive routine breast cancer screenings.
